Forgiveness is a characteristic of believers. The previous period is sufficient to demonstrate anger and dissatisfaction. It is not permissible for a husband to prevent his wife from connecting with her brother or father unless there is a legitimate, recognized reason. There is no sin upon the wife if she cuts ties with her husband's father or refrains from greeting him if that deters him. It is advisable to close the door to Satan. Among the ethics of a Muslim is to show kindness to those who have wronged him and to forgive those who have oppressed him.
